Hi Everyone,
The new History Works Medical Series - American Civil War Confederates are now available. All the figures are matte finish, 58mm, metal and $20-22.
A few folks have asked me over the years why my fascination with battlefield medicine? In WWII my father was in the Medics, 62nd Medical Bn. (full disclosure he was in the HQ unit, he had a "good" war, if there is such a thing...or at least the stories he told his son were only the good ones). So, from early on he told me the stories of his training (he was going to be a combat engineer...lucky for me the Army did what the Army does...) ,posting to the UK, landing at Omaha Dog White Beach on D+7, waking up on Christmas morning 1944 and heading to some place called The Ardennes, and then meeting the Russians in Vienna (not a fan), etc. This of course not only kindled an interest in Medics but military history in general, the nail in the coffin for me was as a young boy my dad cast toy soldiers with a Gilbert casting machine, he found an old one and taught his young son this weird and wonderful hobby. Anyway, I hope the new range is of interest and that you all have a very Merry Christmas.
